Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/385

After launching a container app from LiveContainer, I've found that returning to LiveContainer requires closing the container app and relaunching LiveContainer from its icon. Is there a URL scheme, such as "livecontainer://home", that could directly launch LiveContainer? This would allow for creating shortcuts and significantly improve convenience. If a solution already exists, please let me know. Thank you!

I have found a workaround but it's not perfect:

Create a shortcut using URL scheme: "livecontainer://open-web-page?url=about://blank".

It will launch livecontainer and show a blank webpage after some clicks. It will be perfect if some logic adjust or add a new dedicated URL scheme to do so.
